Three Weeks after being beaten by a local “modesty squad”,
authorities have released the identity of the 50 year old chareidi man, who
remains unconscious and on a respirator in the intensive care unit of a Petach
Tikva hospital.

According to reports on Israeli news site Ch. 2 mako, 50
year old Hertzel Moshiach had been waiting for a bus on Rechov Weitzman in the
Kiryat Sanz section of Netanya, next to Laniado Hospital, at approximately 11
PM Motzei Shabbos .

As previously reported on T.O.T. News, Moshiach was beaten
after a group of chareidim allegedly observed him looking at a pregnant
chareidi woman who was also waiting at the bus stop.

In a video taken at Moshiach’s bedside Moshiach’s sister,
Esther Shem Tov, recounted that neighbors alerted her to the attack.

“They said, ‘Esther, run, they are killing your
brother.We don’t know if he is alive or
dead but they are beating him with deathly blows’.”

“How a healthy person is going, not hurting anyone, never
does anything wrong to anyone ever and the tznius squad decides to attack him,
for what?Because he looked at a
pregnant woman?” added another sister, Racheli Tzabari.
